Overreact much? You don't need to join the CC and might still even get the same or similar seats next year.

They're in the south endzone. Why do you care so much that they're the exact same seats?

Every big program does this. Do you want to compete? This is how

Why would someone want to sit in the end zone every year for 40 years?

demon_llama

Because it's a great view. It's what I do

Belboz

In some respects the sides of the South/North end zones provide the best vantage points.

slappy

That must be why all the TV channels use end zone cams.

Hey, I too like an end zone view when my team is on my 5 yard line.

demon_llama

10/4/23 2:37pm

You probably prefer binoculars from the sides zoomed in on QB"s face.

Belboz

TV angles are horrible and I regularly gripe about it

Belboz

We've been in the North endzone for 45 yrs now but have moved around to different areas many times.

In spirit maybe?

I actually agree to an extent. But you lost your seats because the demand

I mean...this is America. The price is justified by the demand. If people pay

Of course. They increased the offering by having a big 12 schedule. But if they

Well, they can do what they want to do. They've got us.

College football is about money, not providing discounts to people who demand a bargain.

slappy

10/4/23 1:20pm

Let pretend that BYU didn’t raise their prices. What would happen?

Cougarclaw

10/4/23 1:20pm

Yeah, I sold two of my 6 tickets last week for 4 times the price I paid

Belboz

BamaCoug

To my defense, i didn't know who they were until they showed up for game.

Exactly this.

Hate that. Why they want to make campus less accessible, I don’t know.

By chance, have you ever complained about the games not being in the afternoon?

Let's be honest: In 40 years, Population in Utah >2x, Utah County >3x, BYU Graduates ~240,000. LES LOST 2000 seats.

What do you say to fans that have also bought tickets since 1982 and have been CC members for the same amount of time

stupid capitalism..

fatcracker

I think it's worth noting that the next 2 home games aren't sold out. They are B12 games... we are 4-1. It's not stupid

HarlemCoug

10/4/23 6:42pm

Sorry, but I completely disagree. It’s supply and demand. Not greed. If people are willing to pay the price

Supply and demand—it’s just economics.

If BYU ever goes 4-8 in back to back years there will be plenty of open seats.
